Life a blessing or a curse


Battling the demons alone

Making it work regardless the cost

Keep his word forever in the stone

Wait for tomorrow, Chasin today 

Looking for a so called new way  

Because my happiness is a stranger

And has been closer to his anger 

The fire inside of me is fueled by hate 

I try to stop it but I’m too late 

And I have cried too much that my tears have opened the floodgate

Everyone said I can’t be saved but a root of a rose shines through 

It will take dedication to have it grow but pride still glows 

So remember that when you think you can’t climb and you think you’re too low  

Remember happiness and love will always flow
